So Transparent!
If you have been following the news lately you have most likely heard about, former confidant to George H. Bush, Doug Wead and his secret recordings of George W. Bush. These recordings have been made public in the last few days to "coincidentally" coincide with the release of sneaky Wead's new book. Well, while I was perusing the cable news last night I saw that on The O'Reilly Factor ol' Bill decided to designate a segment to this story and lone behold if the no spinster didn't have himself an honest to goodness, soil his diaper, someone stole my lollypop, big baby tantrum! It was absolutely wonderful to see Bill O'Reilly seething with anger to the depth of his non-existent soul as he bellowed about how much he despised Doug Wead and his secret taping of the unknowing George W. Bush. The beauty of it all was that O'reilly, who was literally purple with hate, was so obviously howling at Andrea Mackris for secretly taping his "Falafel Manifesto" and not Wead's malfeasance! Oh, such sweet Irony! Billy O' stammered with rage as he said, "the aptly named Mr. Wead was the lowest piece of.... (Bill stammering).... DEBRIS"! Christ, I almost fell out of my chair as I was racked with laughter at the red, trembling O'Reilly. The big O' then said he wouldn't even mention the name of Wead's vile book so as not to give it any free publicity and furthermore he thought everybody should band together and boycott this travesty perpetrated against an innocent unwitting man. Hmmm, I wonder what he could have been thinking about as he spewed out that statement? The unabashed fun of this segment of Bill's show was substituting Mackris' name every time O'Reilly mentioned Wead's. It became so obvious that this misplaced aggression had gotten the best of O'Reilly. Oh Mr. Bill, loofah off, use your vibrator and take long shower. By the way what made O'Reilly's anger so easily labeled as misguided/misplaced was the fact that the tape recordings Wead Made of Dubya portrayed the president in not so bad of a light unlike the recording Mackris made. By the way Mr. Wead's Book Is named "The Raising of a President: The Mothers and Fathers of Our Nation's Leaders". Just click on it if you wish to buy it... It would make Bill O'Reilly very upset.... and isn't that worth $17.16?

The Death Of The Democratic Party Has Been Greatly Exaggerated!
The Republicans keep on dishing out lies, the Democrats keep on eating it up with a spork and for the life of me I can’t understand why. The GOP claims the Democratic Party is on the ropes and quite literally moments away from extinction. They point out, as though it were fact, that the Liberal Democrats are out of touch with middle America's moral beliefs. I guess they are referring to morality based decisions like issuing press credentials to Jeff Gannon a.k.a. James Dale Gukart, a Republican plant, right wing shill and don't forget "male prostitute" for his website militaryescortsm4m.com amongst others. Gannon/Gukart was given admission to press briefings and presidential press conferences for the sole purpose of lobbing softball questions if the real reporters inquiries became too tough. Right-wingers also say the Democrat's economic policies on Social Security, taxes, and Medicare are outdated and would destroy the economy. As if we could screw up the economy worse or put this country any deeper in debt than Dubya already has? They claim to quiver with glee over the fact that Democrats have picked Howard Dean as the new head of the Democratic National Committee because he is "insane". What?!? I'll tell you who’s insane. Zell Miller is insane! They say they can't wait to have Hillary Clinton to run against in 2008 because she is too liberal and too polarizing. I have news for them, Hillary Clinton is to the right of Republican big shots like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani on issues like abortion and gay marriage. They say the Dems are washed up because the "real" folks in the red states can't trust them to uphold their faith drenched religious values they embrace. Don't you think the Red Staters are going to be cursing in tongues after George Bush finishes up his presidency and none of their insane, hyper-religious agenda (the anti-gay amendment, outlawing abortion, and teaching creationism in schools) was implemented? There will be the proverbial "hell to pay" when that chicken comes home to roost!
Why do we Democrats believe it? Is it because the Republican spin machine stays on point so well, or is it because the media pundit whores whom they pay off repeat it so often that it has become ingrained in our sound-bite attuned minds? Whatever the reason is, we are definitely buying what they're selling. This despite the fact that most everything they spew points to the contrary. If you look at the slim margin Bush won the presidential race by, one would wonder why we our foundations are so shaken by what they say? Kerry's 49% to Bush's 51%. What is so distressing about that? It has been reported that the wing-nut evangelicals made up 4 million of the new votes... Bush only won by 3 million. If these ultra-religious rubes hadn't bought into BushCo's scam artistry and had stayed home November 2nd, Kerry would have won by 1 million votes. Luckily when the Bush administration shafts these numbskulls they will hopefully learn their lesson. But you never know with these slack jawed mouth breathers.... They believe Noah literally fit two of every kind of animal on his big ol' boat. That kind of gullibility is special. Hell, they still send their hard earned money to Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggart! How's that for stupidity? Any way you slice it, without the votes of this constituency which mainly voted out of hatred for homosexuals, Bush and the Republicans would have lost.
Now my fellow Dems and liberals, take a step back and check out the infighting that is going on with the Republican Party. All the toadies and sycophants that sucked up to Bush and extolled their praises on him during the election race are either looking to collect their pay-off or can now stop cow-towing to Bush so they can now finally get on with a rational agenda! For those who want their comeuppance for sticking to the party's lines/lies they will be sorely disappointed when they get stiffed like the evangelicals will. As for those that are literally being called the "Bloody Lip Republicans" because they had to bite their lips so hard to keep a straight face while smiling and nodding their little heads every time Bush spouted his re-election bull... they are coming for their non-existent pound of flesh as well. There are a lot of quid pro quo to fill for all of the favors the criminal Bush administration had to call in, and believe me, whatever "political capital" Bush gained during the election it ain't even close to enough to pay off the whores he laid down with.
Last of all, whom do the republicans have to run in 2008? Giuliani... Schwarzenegger.... McCain? The first two are, like I said earlier, more liberal than Hillary Clinton and McCain (whom I like!) is so nuts he makes crazy Dr. Dean look positively sedate! I've even heard Sen. Rick Santorum's, R-Pa. name bandied about as a candidate. This is the renaissance man who said same-sex marriage would lead to men exchanging wedding vows with dogs!!!! Hey, there's someone the evangelicals can get behind! If this loon Santorum ran, I'd be so bold as to run Al Gore against him and still feel good about my chances of winning!
And so my friends, the next time your feeling down in the dumps about the state of the Democratic Party, just look at the state of the Republican Party and breathe a sigh of relief. It's kind of like why we watch the Jerry Springer Show or read the tabloids... It's nice to ease back into the Barka lounger and take a gander at the inbred loonies and say to ourselves " My family might be a tad dysfunctional but at least their not completely NUTS"! So take it all with a grain of salt. Just because the Bushies say there are Weapons Of Mass Destruction’s doesn't make it so, just because the say Saddam has ties to Al Qaeda doesn't make it so, just because they say the Clinton administration didn't leave them instructions on how to deal with Osama Bin Laden doesn't make it so, just because they say we are going to be greeted as liberators and have rice and flowers thrown at our soldiers' feet doesn't make it so, just because they say "Mission Accomplished" doesn't make it so and on and on and on and on and on... and just because they say the Democratic Party is in trouble really doesn't make it so!

Hey Syria.... What'r You Lookin' At?
Forget Iran, I know BushCo is looking to throw down with Syria. After the assasination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Condi is talking smack, we've pulled out our ambassador and Bush has accused Syria of being "out of step"..... and you know what he likes to do to countries that are out of step.... and have oil! . To top it all off it's a much weaker country than Iran plus it doesn't have any WMD's.... Just how the Bushies like it.

Luths Or Tries
Err, I mean truths or lies. It's just getting silly now and from time to time I get confused. I also find that it is getting increasingly hard to write about. When the lies get reported as truths and the truths get twisted into lies so often and with such regularity tackling these topics becomes a dilemma. Which aspect of the story should you take on first, the lies that should be exposed or the truths that should be uncovered? I truly had a hard time coming up with examples to choose from which would bear out my argument. Unfortunately it was not for a lack of material to draw from. The quandary lay in the fact that there are so many twisted lies, so many unfounded truths and a huge sea of grey in between to drown in. I was confused as to what started off false and what stated off truth and vice versa.
Let's first check out a lie put forth as the truth..... This’ll be an easy one. Our new secretary of state Condoleezza Rice said/lied, very clearly, in interviews and under oath to the 9-11 commission that she never received any information from the Clinton administration about how to deal with Al Qaeda. We now know this to be untrue. Just yesterday a formerly classified document from the Clinton administration on how to deal with Al Qaeda was released. It turns out that Richard Clark sent Condoleezza Rice a memo vehemently stressing that she deal immediately with the threat of Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist network "Al Qida" (sic). Even after having been faced with the release of this very contradictory evidence the Bush administration still adheres to their story/lie that they never received a single solitary thing from Clark. A Lie told as the truth right there right there for all to see.
Now lets hit a truth twisted into a lie. Take for example the now infamous statement of John Kerry that he "voted for the 87 million dollars for the troops in Iraq before he voted against it". This statement was pulled out of context from a town hall meeting when he was stumping for the presidency. The full statement that Kerry made was that he supported the allocation of the money for the troops but could not sign off on the bill because he couldn't condone Bush's plan that would make us, the taxpayers, pay for it. Kerry believed that to pay for the war perhaps government spending should be curbed or that maybe just a small percentage of the tax cut for the wealthy might be repealed. But the bush lie/truth/lie machine took Kerry's explanation and edited it down to one misspoken sentence. They then lied and mangled the meaning behind the statement. A truth twisted into a lie.... then regurgitated as the truth.
Now sometimes the lies and truths are so incestuously intertwined that it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. A perfect example of this is the Iraqi elections. The truth: the Iraqi elections were historic and a great success. For the first time in almost half a century the Iraqis went to the polls in a free democratic election defying insurgent threats. The lie: The reason the Bush administration gave us for going to war with Iraq was because they posed an immediate threat against the USA due to their possession of nuclear weapons. It was not so the Iraqis could dip their fingers in ink, vote, and then dance the night away. Now just imagine if BushCo presented the war to the American public by telling them that it would cost 198 billion (yes, BILLION) dollars more than originally purposed, there are no ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda 1,400 American solders would die, over 25,000 would be wounded, and to top it off there really are no WMD's..... But the Iraqis would get to vote..... once. Do you really think the war would have gotten a second look? Not a chance in hell.... Period! Wait... another period (for emphasis)!
These are but a few examples of what I am speaking of. Try yourself to weed out the lies that entwine and strangle the buds of truth and the bloom of honesty crushed by the overgrowth of the Bush machine's lies. I'm telling you it's not easy and that's not a good thing for any of us. To many smart people playing dumb and too many dumb people buying it. "Snap, Snap"! Wake the fuck up dummies..... ahhhh, who am I kidding, you don't even know who you are. I'll give you a hint though... If you live in a red state and you voted for George bush twice, chances are......

Condoleezza's Lies
A devastating memo from former counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke, which had previously been classified, has just been released. The memo, which was given to President Bush's incoming administration four days after they took office in 2000, contains a detailed strategy for attacking al Qaeda. What makes this newsworthy are the statements of now secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who when asked about the existence of these documents, called the charge "deeply irresponsible and flat-out wrong". I wonder if ever confronted with her "inconsistent" statements if she will employ her "Don't impugn my integrity" defense? A strategy she used in her secretary of state confirmation hearings when she was under fire from Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer when she caught Dr. Rice in one of her now increasingly long list of lies.
Today on CNN's crossfire, Paul Begalla confronted Cliff May, former RNC communications director and president of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, about Mrs. Rice's more than blatant lie. Mr. May's anemic excuses in the ensuing exchange where pathetic to say the least. Here is the exact transcript of that programs segment:
BEGALA: Cliff, let's start with this national security declassified -- this is in the public domain. Nobody leaked it. It's been declassified, this memo.
Well, no, actually, let me first start with something that Condoleezza Rice told the American people. She wrote an op-ed article for "The Washington Post," not misquoted, not taken out of context. Here's what she wrote in defense of the Bush administration in "The Washington Post."
"No al Qaeda plan was turned over to the new administration," a short declarative sentence, a lie. Here's what the memo that was released says. "Attached is" -- a memo to Dr. Rice from her counter-terrorism chief Richard Clark. "Attached is the year-end 2000 strategy on al Qaeda developed by the last administration to give to you."
And that strategy has been released. It is a 13-page document, the title of which is, "Strategy For Eliminating the Threat From the Jihadist Networks of al Qaeda, Status and Prospects." She lied.
MAY: Two -- I don't think so. First of all, I encourage...
BEGALA: She said there was no plan. Now here's the plan.
MAY: First of all, I encourage everybody to read what's out here. I hope you have it on your Web site. If not, I'll put it up on mine.
BEGALA: Please do.
MAY: And this is not a three-alarm fire here. Let me give you just one quote. (CROSSTALK)
BEGALA: She said there was no plan, Clifford. And here's a plan. (CROSSTALK)
BEGALA: How do you reconcile that?
MAY: Two things. "Issues awaiting address now are" -- and it's No. 2. "Do we propose significant growth in the F.Y. '02 budget for anti-al Qaeda operations by CIA and counter-terrorism training and assistance by state and CIA?" Does that sound like an alarm to you? (CROSSTALK)
BEGALA: He says, we urgently, underline, urgently need work on al Qaeda.
MAY: Let me ask you this. (CROSSTALK)
MAY: Let me ask you this.
BEGALA: No, sir. My question is, was Dr. Rice telling the truth when she told the American people there was no plan turned over to their administration on al Qaeda, when I hold the plan in my hands?
MAY: The plan, as I understand it, it was one written by Sandy Berger, which has not been released, and which he may have stuffed into his underpants. I would say that that plan should be released.
BEGALA: I am holding it, Cliff.
MAY: What Sandy Berger had? (CROSSTALK)
BEGALA: No. I'm hold the plan that Dr. Rice says does not exist.
MAY: Sandy Berger's plan should be released, so we see what the Clinton administration has, because let me tell you this. (CROSSTALK)
MAY: Let me agree with you on this.
BEGALA: Did she tell the truth?
MAY: Let me agree with -- yes, stop with this stuff. Every time you disagree with somebody, they're not lying. (CROSSTALK)
BEGALA: She said there was no plan, Clifford. Here is the plan. (CROSSTALK)
It was painfully embarrassing to watch Cliff May and guest host Bay Buchanan, Right wing pundit and President of The American Cause, as Begalla waved the documents in front of their faces as they hemmed, hawed and blurted out their unintentionally comical excuses. I don't understand why they didn't just say something to the effect that "maybe she didn't receive them" or that "she was unaware of their existence", unless they have information to the contrary?
I think we can now safely say that Dr. Rice is an out and out liar with her pants most definitely on fire.... Why can’t the Republicans?

Your Move!
As of yesterday North Korea has gotten all up in George Bush's grill. They have in essence proclaimed that "Yeah we've got Nukes, so what". The Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency "We... have manufactured nukes to cope with the Bush administration's evermore undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK," (The Democratic People's Republic of Korea). Whoops! That backfired. For all of Bush's tough guy machismo posturing he sure doesn't seem to have scared *five foot tall Kim Jong-Il (*Not including heels and his perm). North Korean officials then said they were pulling out of the six party talks that George Bush pushed so hard for on the campaign trail as opposed to John Kerry's proposed bilateral talks.
Now let's couple this disturbing news with the fact that earlier this week Condoleezza Rice threatened harsh consequences against Iran if they didn't dismantle their nuclear program to which Iranian President Mohammad Khatami warned: "Any invader will find Iran to be a burning hell for them". Okay... It seems that Iran knows all too well that the U.S. doesn't have the troop strength to hurl a lone spitball at them let alone a full military assault if indeed they decided to call our bluff.
Now combine all of this disheartening news with the reports that even after the successful Iraqi elections the violence perpetrated by the insurgence has escalated to an even more fevered pitch… I guess they hate them for their freedom. To make matters even worse, election results are being called into question by Iraqi officials claiming rampant fraud was committed in the voting process. Add all of these occurrences up and you've got yourself a helluva bad week for BushCo.... Hmmm, speaking of BushCo, I wonder who would profit from fixing the Iraqi elections?
The only conclusion that any thinking person can arrive at is that the only real explanation for why we attacked Iraq is because Bush and the Neo-Cons were absolutely positive that they did not have any weapons of mass destruction. This has become painfully obvious due to the fact that every body else sure has them and we haven’t made a move on them. I believe that when CIA Director George Tenet made his famous "slam dunk" statement he was actually saying.... "Sure, go ahead and attack Iraq.... It's a slam dunk that they don’t have any WMD’s in their arsenals to hurt us with". I guess he didn't count on the pride of the Iraqi citizenry dictating their willingness to fight tooth and nail against American occupation.
I guess we should be used to these deceptions by now. “Slam Dunk” was just another lie, leading to another miscalculation, leading to another failure in the long list of BushCo fuck ups. One-step forward.... three steps back.... par for the course.

Sergeant Slaughter Would Be Proud!
I would like to comment on the mud wrestling incident at the Army-run Camp Bucca detention center in Iraq. I have no condemnation in my heart for these soldiers. In fact my heart swells with patriotic pride as I salute these fine young women. What dedication these ladies must have to take up the ancient sport of Greco-Roman wrestling to assure that you stay in tip top physical condition and 100% combat ready. To make the sacrifice of training in the squared circle on top of your daily routine takes dedication and discipline. For that we owe these half clad heroines our debt of gratitude.
As far as the incident being sexual in nature this can only be attributed to the attire they wore, or to be more precise, the lack of attire... who ever heard of wrestling in full combat fatigues? I believe they were wrasslin' in their unmentionables because it was the closest thing to regulation wrestling tights they had. As far as I'm concerned this wardrobe malfunction is directly due to the under funding of military equipment that has plagued this conflict. If they're undergarments had been properly up armored this whole scandal could have been avoided.
Now let's address the issue of the mud... that is all there is in Iraq! There are no proper rings in which to practice this most noble of sports. They made do with what they had. God bless our troops for their resourcefulness and dedication to a vigorous regimen of fitness.
Now in all seriousness... Give these kids a break. They are a heartbeat away from being eviscerated by an I.E.D. and they aren't even old enough to be served a beer. Let them have some fun. It was 100% consensual and let's face it if anybody deserves to blow off some well earned steam it is these young men and women. Now let's teach a lesson to the looser who ratted his colleagues out by selling the pictures to the Daily News.... That is someone who really hates our troops!

The Cult Of Mediocrity
Forgive me for not being overly impressed by the state of the union speech Bush gave on Wednesday. Oh sure, we can all agree freedom is great, democracy is wonderful and American Moms with dead sons hugging Iraqi daughters with dead dads is a photo op for the ages...... but it's all just preprogrammed political theater..... omit the grandiose over the top rhetoric and you find yourself asking where the substance is. I am sick and fucking tired of people cheerleading for Dubya when he does something well.... when he does anything well. He didn't write the speech, he didn't memorize the speech, and let's face it, I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what most of the big words meant! Let's set some damned standards for this half a lobotomy patient!
Does anyone out there remember greatness. There truly are some who strive for it every day in their given professions, and some even achieve it. Let's take for instance those who teach our children. Daily in their classrooms they strive to teach their students fully and equally. But let's just say for the sake of argument a teacher was given ten children in their classroom and was only able to teach one of them to read while all the others remained illiterate. Would we cheer that teacher. No, of course not. Then why do we cheer George Bush. He fails nine out of ten times at everything he attempts. But like some hand-i-capable child competing in the special olympics we coddle lil' Georgie every time he crosses a finish line.... even though he's in last place.
The bar has been set so low for Bush and his administration that it would be astounding if they didn't clear the hurdles before them. To listen to the republicans drooling and cooing over Dubya after he completed the state of the union address you would think he delivered it while he was walking on water..... "A grand slam", "Groundbreaking", "Hit it out of the park", "Breathtaking", "Home run"......? I am willing to admit that he did read what was on the "tell-e-prompter" very well.... but come on people. A freaking fourth grader could have done that! After over four years in office you would surely expect him to have this schtick down pat by now!
Is this how far we have lowered our expectations for the president of the United States of America. What makes us short change our standards to such an unacceptable level of mediocrity? Oh hey, Bush's economic prowess has raised 2.3 million jobs.... but we need two million alone to keep up with the country's growth rate, making this the slowest jobs growth since the Great Depression..... weeeeee!? You've received a three hundred dollar tax break in the mail......... by the way, that refund check you got, Bush's economic policies and the war in Iraq has raised the the federal deficit to it's highest in the history of this countries existence...... ah, outta' sight? But the Iraqis got to vote for a transitional national assembly that will then draft a new constitution that the people of Iraq will then vote to approve or reject, followed by yet another vote to elect a permanent national assembly....... Um, the war in Iraq is a debacle and 1500 Americans soldiers are dead and we still don't know how the hell we're gonna' get out of there..... um, woo-hoo? The Iraqi's purple fingers are real purddy....... awwwwww, a government poll says that only ninety-eight percent of Iraqis see Americans as occupiers and that purple ink has cost us two hundred and thirty billion dollars so far...... whop-ti-doo? But they like us, they really like us...... No they don't, They really don't.
These are meager accomplishments and should be expected from our president and not rewarded. Everyone mewls over how Bush smoked out that naughty Saddam Hussein out of his hidey hole in under two years...... Hell, Clinton cleared out Slobodan Milosevic in sixty five days without getting one U.S. soldier killed.... Republicans are ready to tea-bag Bush over 2.3 million jobs.... Shit, Clinton created the longest economic expansion in history, including the creation of over 22 million jobs, the lowest unemployment and inflation rates in a generation, rising wages and the highest homeownership rates on record. Evangelicals want to deify St. George for outlawing gay marriage.... Fuck, Clinton screwed Monica Lewinski on his desk in the Oval Office while he was on a conference call with Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak all the while eating a god damned slice of pepperoni pizza!!!!!! Now thats an accomplishment people!

Time To Get The Hell Out Of Dodge!
I am incredibly happy the elections went well in Iraq. I'm not being facetious. One might think from reading my previous posts that I might have been hoping for a disaster. Nothing could be further from the truth. My hopes were not for Bush and his neo-con lackey's agenda but for the citizens of Iraq. They did not ask for Saddam Hussein and they did not ask to be bombed into the stone ages and then occupied by BushCo, so I truly wanted them to have this one moment to savor. They are the ones who truly deserved this victory. I applaud their bravery and perseverance, because if someone told me, "If you vote you will die!" you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm staying home that day and watching a Spongebob Squarepants marathon. Their courage is truly inspiring.
My reasons for being pleased by the outcome of the Iraqi elections are twofold. First of all I am glad that the people of Iraq were given the chance to vote and so few had to die for it. There was little violence for them to contend with because it seems the insurgence took the day off...... Maybe they were voting? Maybe they just decided to take the day off when they knew the security would be at it's tightest and the streets were teaming with soldiers. This way they could live to kill another day. Either way I am glad the insurgence didn't make good on their promise to wash the streets with blood.
The other reason that I am overjoyed is perhaps this will finally give us the chance to get the hell out of there. Despite the fact that the Iraqis got a chance to vote for the people that will eventually dictate to them who their president will be the war has been an utter failure. George W. says it is a huge victory for freedom yesterday.... Great, I am so happy 1400 plus soldiers died so the Iraqis got chance to get the ink-finger.... It's not the reason we went there.... it's not the second, not even the third. But let's take what we can get and tuck tail and get the fuck out of dodge! In a nutshell.... We are not going to find WMD's, we are not going to uncover ties to Al Qaeda except for the one that formed after we got there, we are not going to pay off the war with their oil, and we are not going to make it any safer here at home for us..... Let's just claim the elections as a huge victory for freedom and leave..... Oh heeeeeey! You're so sneaky Bush.... you've already started that ball rolling at yesterday's press conference/gloat-fest.
Now all we can do is sit back and hope for one of these four conclusions. 1) The Iraqis become a shining beacon of democracy and freedom. 2) The Shiites who are projected to win the majority of the vote form an ultra religious government and we have another Iran. 3) We never secure Iraq and we become bogged down there for years with the insurgency killing more and more of our US soldiers every day. 4) Iraq winds up in a three way civil war between the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds and everyone dies. Either way it comes down let's just make damn sure we aren't there when it does. The problem is that BushCo wants the unattainable fifth conclusion....To prop us a puppet government and turn Iraq into a huge military base that just happens to conveniently sit on an enormous oil reserve...... And believe me folks, BushCo ain 't leaving until they get what they came for.
